Savannah, March 21st, 1861.
The President, Hon. Gao. W. Crawford, call
ed the Convention to order at ten o’clock this
morfiing. Prayers were oflered by Rev. J. T.
Low, of Andrew (M. E.) Chapel, of this cRv.
The journal of yesterday was then read by the
Secretary.
Reconsideration.
Mr. Tidwell, of Fayette, moved to reconsid
er so much of the journal of yesterday, as re
lates to the action of the Convention in adopt
ing the majority report of the committee on
Senatorial Districts.
The Chair stated that in his opinion, a recon
sideration of this part of the journal might in
fluence the whole arrangement of the Senatori
al district^.
Mr. Tidwell supported his motion for recon
sideration, wishing to have his minority report
adopted as a portion of the plan. Some of the
districts iu the upper part of the State did not
exaetlv suit the.delegates of those counties.
Mr. 'Glenn hoped the motion would prevail.
Under the plan adonted yesterday: the counties
of Fulton and Cobb were both in one district,
and Marietta and Atlanta waged a sort of “ir
repressible conflict” with each other, and he
feared unless those couniies were put into
different districts the entire vote of each county
would be given against ratification.
Judge Rice, of Cobb, entertained similar
views as those expressed by Mr. Glenn, and
larorcd a reconsideration.
Mr. Singleton, hoped that the motion would
not prevail. He did not like exaclly, his own
district, but he believed if the subject were
once opened again, the Convention might sit
for a year and appoint a Committee every day,
and still there would always be some to ob
ject. , .
The motion to reconsider was voted down.
The President uext ordered the Hall cleared
of ail persons hot delegates and officers, in
order to go into secret sessicn. As I was leav
ing the Hall, a resolution was- being adopted
confining members in secret session to ten
minutes speeches.
p. S. —The remainder of the session this
morning was devoted to the consideration of
the Constitution as reported by the Committee.
Various rumors are on the street, as to the
length of time probably to be occupied by the
Convention, in its consideration.
The Convention adjourned to meet (in secret
session,) at nine o’clock to-morrow morning.

to in this paper, is in the procurement of specie
in sufficient amounts and on reasonable terms,

timated tlie opinion some days ago, that there
(was no source of adequate relic* the present
moment, as Congress adjourned. The Con
vention seem to have arrived at the same con-
• 1 islon* af least they will hare done so, should
Hi r seriously entertain tbe Ordinance of Mr.i
Dougherty^ introduced on Wednes-
—1..; *14! n he uts the Gordian Knot at once, in-
sli?ad of eveiV making an effort to untie ft. The
material sections are as follows: <
^ Jk it-'ordained, That whenever a citizen shall
] ~.nt at the counter of any of the Banks of
jM$ State a certificate of any Collector of Cus-
1* ms of tills State, t hat said citizen is due 6ueb
Collector for duties on goods a specified amount,
*uch Bank sffiJl redeem iu specie its own bills
p-escutcd, to an amount at most equal to such
amount due far customs; provided such appli
cant shall, if required by the Bank, swear that
ha is a citizen of this State, in good faith owing
said duties, and .that he has not in a similar
manner taken lrotn any other Bank au amount
without which the amount then demanded will
esceed the amount covered by the Collector’s
certificate.
Ik it further ordained, That if any Bank shall
refuse to redeem said bills in the maunor afore
said It shall be liable to all the penalties in
i vee prior to said act of the General Assembly
of 1859.
We hope this ordinance will not pass, and we
shall give two good reasous why it should not.
I( the Convention really be omnipotent, irre
sponsible, as some anpear to regard it, it will,
perhaps, be difficult for us to offer any strictly
legal reason in opposition to the action propos
ed. We shall not dispute this abstract point of
power, as it is unnecessary for our purpose.
But. there is one restraint ou all human action,
which no individual or body of legislators is at
liberty to disregard; it is the eternal principles
«>f justice and right—the “ higher law,” if yon
vill—for the government of mankind. This
constitution of Heaven no Tuau, or body of
mew, can violate with impunity. Though
written in the bobks, this law of right should
be inscribed on every heart, and contest every
where the aelions of men. 1
Subjected to this test, we think the ordinance
of Mr. Clark must go by the board as illegal
and unjust.-
Legislature of 1859, acting by authority,
and by ah overwhelming vote, authorized the
Banks of Georgia to suspend specie payments
until the Cth day of December of the year 1861,
r.ud on certaim conditions. This act has been
accepted tyy the Banks, and all its conditions
have been complied with. It therefore stands
iu the light of,an amendment to the charters
of the Banks, a contract between the Banks and
the State, a. guaranty for the certainty and
safety of their business, to wbich.the^ood/affA
of the people of Georgia is solemnly pledged.
If yon can impair the force of this guaranty in
any particular, you can repeal the act altoge
ther, and indeed demolish every bank charter
in Georgia at a blow. We need hardly ask the
question of a delegate to the Convention, or
anybody else : Would this be right ? Common
honesty and fajj.ly "between man and man will
answer no.
Anothor serious objection to the ordinance Is:
it must, ole necessity, prove unequal in Its
operation on the Banks, and consequently un"
just. The Convention has no right to subject
one Bank or class of Banks to restrictions, and
exempt others from the same. In the very na
ture of things, as rijracty-nine. hundredths of the
duties on importsin the State Will be collected
in the port of Savannah, the whole of this un
equal burthen will fall upon the Banks of this
city, while those of the interior towns will be
comparatively exempt from the operation of
the ordinance:
For these reasons, with all due respect to the
delegate from Dougherty, we feel it to be a duty
to protest against tbe passage of his ordinance.
In our humble judgment, the Convention is
engaged in a fruitless task, when it attempts to
remedy the difficulty'with regard to the pay
ment of duties. It is something beyond its le
gitimate reach, and had better be abandoned at
bnce. The power to remoye the evil, exists at
Montgomery, aud no wlipre else.

should be changed for light or trancisnt causes;
nor unless upon reasonable assurance that n
bettor will be established.

SAVANNAH MARKET.
COTTON.—A reference ta our large table show* that
the decrease iu receipts has already reached 750,159
bales. ' r here is to be deducted from this quantity,
however, 188,429 bales which have gone to market
overland; this still leaves a deficiency el 611,723 bales,
which, from the best information wo can obtain, is apt
to increase from week to week. The news from plan
tations invariably reports the crop in; and the stocks in
interior towns aggregating bat 81,811 bales this year
against 174,001 bales, last, indicate that the most san
guine short crop estimates have not been far out ol the
way. The political troubles which have agitated our
country oansed planters to bring their crops to market,
and the same reasons urged shippers to hurry it off te
Liverpool or the North. The result is seen in tbe
small quantity now left in the country and remaining
in the interior towns.
In J S59 the receipts at all ports up to this time, were
8,165,452 bales; our tables for the present year show
the receipts to be 8,140,9S2 bales, a difference of only a
few thousand bales. If the parallel continues till Sept.
IsL, we will havo a crop of 8,800,000 baloa; but the
causes we have enumerated above, together with the
facilities for gelling to market which increase every
year, would go to prove that it will be even less than*
this figure. This market has been quite animated since
our last report, and limited offering stocks have been tbe
only restriction to extensive sales. Buyers ^search in
vain for desirable parcels and holders take advantage
of the demand to make the good cottons sell the poorer
grades. Prices are ^higher than at our lost report
owing to the active demand, and also to the favorable
news from other domestic ports, as well as Irom Liver
pool. Our circular closes upon a brisk and excited
market, with an advancing tendency, and with very
tmafi offering stocks. The sales are so irregular that
we oannot offer quotations, though there would be no
difficulty ip selling Good Middlings at llj^ ® 12 cents.

A Navy for the Confederate States.—
Tue'^iW York Ledger says :
!£Qu r ci#>£Mjaaiai.J'(31ow-citizen, Alderman
F.i^A lias'been uwfilfled"tfnj 1 '/Ju&luict,
Oein<j: the lowest bidder for the construction of
the forty stan-scows required by the Southern
Confederacy. These boats are to be seventy
feet long by twenty-two wide and five feet deep,
double planked, and with sides of the regular
naval thickness. Mr. Boole has liifcd a new
ship-4mildine yard at Greenport, Long Island,
close to the Tenth street ferry. Each scow is
to mount one central ten-inch pivot fjun and
two thrrty-fonr pound carronades. They are to
be anchored in the mouth ot the Mississippi,
and at variou* exposed points up the river—
thus guarding alike against attack lrotn the sea,
or a descent from the Northwestern States.
With tlieir full armament on board they will
draw thirty-six inches of water, thus presenting
but a very narrow target to the enemy.
“Tlie plan of these boats, as a cheap sbusti-
tute for a Southern navy, is due to Commander
Hartstein, and they are to completed for $3,200
each—the armaments to be furnished by the
Richmond loundry. Twenty of these scows are
to be delivered on or before the 31st of July, and
the balance by the end of October. Three of
them are now in progress, to be called respec
tively the Sonth Carolina, Mississippi and Geor
gia, and Mr. Boole is<confident that he can easi
ly complete his contract within the time speci-
fied. There were two ship builders in the city
amongt-c the bidders,the bid of one being $3,750
for each scow, and that of the other $4,200.
Commander Hartstein believes that these ves
sels, almost wholly submerged in water, will
prove of more use and receive far less damage
than Lieut Hamilton’s costly and dangerous
iron-plated battery.”
